Layout & sleeping
The layout is the heart of the 79-4T, and it’s designed to give couples or two travelling companions maximum flexibility without sacrificing living space.
Rear twin beds
- At the back, two permanent single beds provide easy access and comfort without the need to make up a bed every evening.
- Each has its own mattress, supportive slatted base, and individual reading lights with USB charging points.
- Both beds lift on gas struts to reveal large storage lockers beneath, ideal for clothing, spare kit or outdoor gear.
- A central infill is available to convert the singles into a super-king double, offering real versatility.
Central washroom and kitchen
- Mid-ships, the washroom and kitchen separate the bedroom from the lounge, giving the rear a private, en-suite feel.
Front lounge
- Up front, the L-shaped lounge makes full use of the wide body. Swivel cab seats combine with a sofa and two belted rear travel seats, creating a sociable space for dining or relaxing.
- A freestanding table provides flexibility for mealtimes and stows neatly away when not in use.
- The lounge can be converted into a generous double bed, giving a true four-berth layout when required.
- Large windows on three sides, plus Bailey’s wide habitation door, ensure the lounge feels light, open and welcoming.
Day-to-day practicality
- The design makes it easy to move from the cab into the living area and through to the rear bedroom without obstruction.
- With fixed beds at the back and a convertible lounge double, there’s no nightly disruption, yet the option to host friends or family is always there.
- The division between front and rear zones means one person can head to bed early while another continues relaxing in the lounge.
Exterior, build & on-the-road
- Alu-Tech construction: Timber-free roof and walls, fully insulated to Grade III, and built for year-round use.
